I am finalizing the plane for weight and balance and making sure I have done everything I want to do. I am wondering what folks have done to soften the edge of the dash (the aft edge of the F-1071 FWD fuse top skin). I do not want to do anything too fancy but simple and quick but nice looking. I noticed the Van's RV-10 has automotive type fuel line split down the middle and slipped over the edge, which is ok, I guess, but I would like a slight step above that solution.
Thanks

Aircraft Door Seals will custom make a glareshield to your template. I had one in my Cherokee and really liked it. It has a nice padded brow. I’m thinking about doing the same in my RV-10. I think it looks nicer that the cloth that Abby sells. But again, that’s my opinion.

Years ago we replaced our glareshield cover when we replaced the windshield in our Cardinal, with a piece of leather we bought. After having a friend cut and sew it to the proper shape, we then glued it down. All in all a bad idea, as the leather shrunk, and we ended up ripping it all out for a commercially made cover anyway.

I got some rubber edge trim from McMaster-Carr. Here is a link:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#trim-molding/=e37ooh
As far as the covering on the glareshield, I painted the metal flat black. So far it has held up great. For the avionics vent fans, I went with some 80mm computer fans with a flush grill cover, that double as defoggers.

Same here--flat black paint looks great. I used the Cleveland ending. I did not add a vent/defrost fan, which is my biggest regret thus far. It's way too hot behind the panel.

John,
Sounds good, I too have flat black paint and 2 fans, do you know what exact Mcmaster part number you got, the link just takes me to the many choices.
Thanks

I used the flat black paint and the edge cover and it has worked well for me.
Make sure you put in black fan grill covers! Don't use the shiny ones or you will have the reflection in your windshield. Don't ask me how I know.......

I too painted the panel top flat back and could not be happier with
it. I used some trim from an auto parts store that looks pretty much
like the far right choice in the top row of John's link. I also used
the same trim for my wing-to-fuselage gap and it has worked great,

Chris,
The one I ordered was Style 6, 8507K15 - 6 feet. But, a lot of the others will fit as well. Since you are already there, take a look at 1120A411. That's the stuff I used for the door edge trim - I love it.

I used black spray on truck bed liner for my dash. Very tough and has a nice textured finish.
